Jesus I surrender myself to you, take care of everything. So goes the ejaculation in the surrender novena by a very holy priest. How often do we really take the time to actually surrender everything to Our Lord? It is so easy to be controlling and try to run everything. We want everything to be perfect. We want things to run smoothly but by trying to direct everything, we might miss what God is actually wanting to happen. He works patiently and discreetly and it is easy to miss what His call is. He works in the small and the mundane and does not like when we are too grandiose and lost in perfection.

Listen to the voice,
“My peace I give you,
My peace I leave you,
Not as the world gives.”

In the dry, deserted land, we wait for all our unanswered questions. We hope we have enough and cry for some light. We are tested and then we find, we have enough.
A reflection on How to hear the Voice of God and follow His inspirations.
Do you really think this is the worst time in world history? Everyone is always saying it is…
In day to day life we sometimes experience the grind of ordinary life. Little things tend to add up and before we know it we are feeling miserable. That should be warning signal number one. Something isn’t right if we are in depression. Rejoicing in the Lord should be our strength. Am I saying that everything should be puppy dog tails and unicorn rainbows? Definitely not!! It is an invitation…
Almighty Father, Look with mercy on us as we fall and help us to get up again as you did when you fell on the way of the cross and got back up even when…
Without fail we follow,
Waiting for the call,
Watching for the emanation of light,
The virtue poured in torrents,
Decreasing the night.
